I've also experienced the sniffer lid allowing flame to continue. Sometimes the Trangia is so hot blowing the flame out is not possible for me. I've learned that the lid must be dropped precisely and QUICKLY on the Trangia to extinguish the flame. If at first it does not succeed, lift lid with pot lifter and drop again.

I absolutely love trips associated with a bike ride. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome... bike camping is great fun, but I wish I had more time to do it. Luckily, I have a great spot that I can ride to for a quick overnight trip. More bike camping trip reports to come, God willing.

thanks! great shots & gear! i have the same panneirs and and the brooks b66 myself. my mini trangia also does the same, when overheated. i'm thinking about sealing the simmer lid hole w/ a small screw or something. finally the ogee tarp is on my wish list. it is the one imo.

Thanks. I have taken the advice to remove the cap ring seal and use that as the snuffer... I just have to remember to put the seal back on.

If you need a longer burn time you could look into canister or white gas stoves. They have longer burn time and flame control.

I like alkie stoves myself but I look at other options too.
